If this is your first time here then have a read of our 'Home' and 'About Us' pages to learn a little bit about us. If you have already done that well done, keep reading
The Joint Operations Community of a group of SMALL clans that have joined together to be able to have servers of our own - servers that we would be unable to afford as a sole clan. We are looking for other SMALL clans to join our community to increase the numbers a little further so that we can be an active community on most evenings during the week.
NOT IN A CLAN?
Don't worry, you can join us too. We are just as happy to accept new members into our group as we are for clans. Typically you would enrol as a Joint Operations member, however you will be welcome to join the other clans that make up our community if you wish.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR.
We are looking for mature players and SMALL clans that just want to have fun. We may play friendly matches but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Why only small clans?
Well larger clans can often manage on their own, they have their own dynamic and way of doing things and we don't want any one single clan to overwhelm other clans in the community.
REQUIREMENTS & WHAT WE EXPECT.
This is our most important rule:
As a member of Joint Operations, not only are you representing yourself and Joint Operations but you also represent every other clan that makes up the Joint Operations community. No other clan here wants their name tarnished by immature behaviour on the servers. For that reason, we expect people to be polite and friendly and handle themselves in an adult manner. When administrating on a server we expect you to be able to remain cool, calm and collected.... and above all, be fair.
Generally we do expect people to contribute to the cost of the game servers that we have to rent. We do have our own dedicated box for TS and an unranked MW3 server thanks to Black, but for everything else that we need to pay for, we try to share it out between us as much as possible, the more people who share the cost the cheaper it gets for us all.
As I am sure you will understand, we also require that as a community, you don't run a sole clan server that competes with our own 'Joint Operations' servers in the games that we play. Of course you can run your own clan servers in games that we don't play but for Battlefield 3 and Modern Warefare 3 and future similar games, we obviously don't want people going off to play on their own server and leaving the JO one that we all contribute to, empty.
The community is more that just the game. We also like to see our members taking an active part in the forum and discussions as much as possible... keep it a lively place.
SO HOW DO I JOIN UP.
Well, the best way would be to sign up on the forum and say "hi"; bring your friends and get them to say "hi" too. Get involved in a few discussions so that we get to recognise you. It's a good idea to register with the name you use in game so we see you in both places. Play with us and chat with us a while. If you like playing with us and you feel you might fit here, then ask to come and join us on Teamspeak (if we haven't asked you first). If after a few weeks we are all still getting along and enjoying it then we can have a chat about you or your clan becoming a full member of the JO community.
So thanks for reading. We hope you are still interested and we look forward to seeing you on the forum and in game.
